CANOE POSTCARDS

A dugout canoe plying its way along a river is an iconic Amazon scene, so a obvious subject for artists. They're
the dominant mode of transport in the lowland regions, yet a unique experience for visitors who will want to buy a
postcard.

CANOE ON RIVER

The colors suggest a sunset, a theme that is persistent among postcard artists. In this case, a lone canoe
rounds a bend in the river. The canoeist is appears to be using a pole, whereas most natives prefer to use
paddles. This card is signed "COR98." (See also macaw on vine.)

CANOE WITH ENGINE

Still with the sunset theme (and similar in style to another card featuring a sunset), this card shows a canoe
with an engine, called a "peke-peke" (pronounced pehkeh-pehkeh), named for the sound. The canoe is laden
with goods.
